What a load of cobblers! This bloke is just another prophet of doom for the UK - and he's got it so very, very wrong. Just watch how things unroll over the next few months and the UK will be better off than ever. Idiots like the writer of this piece ought to be put out to grass - I wonder who he's working for? The people of the UK voted for OUT because we're totally fed up with faceless, unelected fat cats in Brussells and corrupt bankers thinking they can push us around. Well, Brits are made of sterner stuff and now we have had our say. "Dire consequences for UK aviation" my a***e! What a plonker.

The test engineer who was "let go" (Big US Corporation-speak for "sacked") says it all. Boeing has been caught with its corporate trousers down with this Nightmareliner. The more I read - even with a big pinch of salt next the keyboard - the more determined I am never to fly this white elephant. Give me a 747 or any A300 series any day!

Reading this makes me more than ever determined not to fly the Nightmare-liner. Ever. If one of the batteries burnt the factory down what the hell is it doing in an airplane? Something smells about all of this...

Unfortunately, Boeing has shot itself in the foot with the 787. Badly assembled fuel system components leading to potentially disastrous leaks, batteries bursting into flames - all these faults indicate poor quality control in the assembly of the plane, ineffective quality testing prior to delivery - sure signs that the plane was rushed into service before it was properly sorted. Car manufacturers have been using the public to do its final testing for years, but with aircraft this is not a sensible policy. I wouldn't fly in a 787 at the moment - possibly not ever!
